Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I can't help but think that because the Attomax went so much higher in the air, and still around the same distance as the ProV1, that the Attomax balls could gain an extra 20+ yards at a lower angle of flight.
Yea I reckon it would take a complete club refit to get it suited to the ball flight
Yes, this is true. If the Attomax were hit at a lower flight, they would be going further.
Good point. Maybe if Rick was to hit 10 drives each with a lower lofted driver the Attomax would come out on top.
Oh my god, no they wouldn’t. The physics of the claim is complete bullshit
@@steve5x565 Do you have any theory on why the ball flight would be higher?
I would get sick losing a 20 dollar golf ball. Glad we have Rick to test em for us.
Same. finding any clean ball is like finding a gem...let alone a spendy one
I'm sick losing a £2 golf ball.
I'm thinking you have nothing to worry about because you are probably smart enough to not spend that much on golf balls 😂
yeah I'd be holding up pace looking 8n the woods for one of these balls
Id be more sick if i spent $200 on 12 balls and they are basically top flites
Hopefully this drives sales up and I can find one in the trees near me.
That's how I get all my Pro V1s!
i almost spit my drink out reading this lol
I went into a creek by an expensive golf course and found over 1000 golf balls , really good ones too
Uber amateur golfer (sub-talented enthusiast) and please excuse my ramble.
This channel is by far my 'go to' and most enjoyable by far. Covers all aspects of the game, and I mean all aspects. There is not an episode that I don''t pick up something that I can/have applied. How to stop slicing, which irons, how to use the dam things, distance vs club - I can go on...Rick explains it in a way that the common wheel can understand and not in a 'pro-to-pro' way many other channels narrate. He is also humble and recognizes errors in his play and how he would rectify, again many other channels would never go near this OR even show the pro golfer making anything but a perfect shot. That my friends is why Rick is the best. 100% relatable.
I'm simple I see a rick shiels ball review I drop everything watch it and give the vid a like
I do the opposite 😂
What a brown nose 👃
I must admit I have not liked a Rick video in months but I watch every video 😂😢
You sound simple tbf
I love seeing the different ball reviews, not just the ones you can go get in the shop. Maybe make it a yearly thing where you seek out the most expensive and review them?
Try the cheapest balls with the cheapest clubs against their market opposites
Friend "How much was that round of golf?"
Me "£250"
Friend "I thought greens fees are £50."
Me "Yep."
damn ur lucky...
it's 150$ here for green fee (each) + 180$ for caddy (4 ppl can share the caddy fee) + 150 for cart (4ppl can share the cart)...
Now 250€ for the ball 😢😂 im dead
@@anfzjdxn dont play such an expensive course then bud
@@aaronclarke9897 Thas the starting price in Korea. golf culture in Korea is messed up..
I would love you to revisit this test mid summer when the fairways are harder... that could be quite fun!
Or retest this with no winds, since the higher ball flight obviously got screwed.
The fairways are always the hardest in the winter.
Rick you and your team behind the scenes are the best! Love the content and your passion for golf thank you.
Two points: if the attomax goes so much higher, it could be that with a differently lofted driver they would go farther in average. Also, I saw there was quite a strong wind. If the attomax goes so high, it will spend more time in the air and higher up, the winds are typically even stronger. So with headwind and your current driver, they will take a double punch, while if you did the same test with wind from the back, they would profit from the situation. So, loved the video, but I am not 100% convinced that this concluded the story once-and-for-all :)
Good points, would be nice to get a more scientific/thorough test, but I don't think Rick is the guy to do it. I'm sure there are some very scientific golfers out there - Bryson Dechambeau would be perfect if he wasn't spending all his time being a pro!
@@someguywhocanfly Surely the ball was scientifically tested when it got it's world record.
Super vid Rick! I always love the golf ball reviews 👍 Would of been interesting to see how it handled the bunker test.

Rick with another on point video. How does he always know what we need as subs? Content is consistent and fun!
Best content, and not just in the golf arena. Kudos Rick
Already know this is going to be a great vid Rick never disappoints
Except in his Break 75 videos 😂
@@christophergolfer still fun to watch
Love it!! I was wondering about this ball. Thanks, man!
Thanks for the review Rick. Very interesting. But I have enough trouble justifying the purchase of ProV1's when other ball give you less distance but that only results in a club choice for your second shot.
Nice one Rick! What was really interesting for me were the distance groupings, the Attomax was actually seemed more consistent, all kind of in that middle distance range, whereas the ProV's had 2 in the short "band", 4 in the middle and 3 were the longest.
I thought that aswell. I'd actually love to see what the soft ones are like. Don't think its very fair to compare one of the softest balls on the market with a brands hardest ball.
@@samhirst7331 soft ones are incredible to use same as medium not tried hard ones yet
Love this test and also reading the comments. Interesting how the Attomax went higher. A lower ball flight may have matched the ProV’s distance. I don’t think the Attomax would go farther though. Rick’s GC Quad machine proved that too.
Hi Ric, really enjoyable review. This is what I’ve always enjoyed most about your channel over the last few years, thank you 👍🏻
Heroic! Love this man he is a treasure!!!!
Safe to say id be broke after 2 rounds of Golf if I was hitting these balls hahaha Love your channel Rick! 🤙
Would love to see you test the Louis Vuitton balls, 3 balls, 4 tees and a pouch for £605😅
Great video, thanks for the content, Rick. Really enjoying your stuff. Would love to have seen a scuff test out a bunker on them. Not only would i get sick if i lost them, to see them scratch up would be painful too.
Great fan,🎖💫

It’s Rick Day! Thanks Rick 🙏🏼
I can guarantee there will be people buying them !!
Love these videos. Keep em coming Rick.
They’re definitely aimed at the rich asian market
Sure the will, heck I've got 6 dozen in the golf locker on my Learjet 45.
That's interesting because I find I hit a titleist velocity about 10 yards longer than a pro v1, so these £200 balls aren't even as long as £25 balls... would be an interesting test to see them compared to the cheaper balls on the market
That is so true 👍
Because you have a slower swing speed
@@swandizzle8503 my swing speed is 106mph average... not exactly slow
I've found the same thing, at least with iron shots / approach shots.
@@swandizzle8503 I do agree though, swing speed is a big factor. I just realised how arrogant my previous comment was... sorry. The difference for me is I carry my drive a long distance, with a pro v1 I get almost no bounce. With a velocity I get at least a hop forward. These £200 went higher than a pro v1, which did spark my interest because my ball flight is already high 🤣
Glad you didn’t quit. Keep them coming Rick!

Really enjoy these videos mate
I kind of like the idea of a $20.00 non-conforming golf ball that doesnt fly any further than any other premium ball. For those keeping track, thats $240 per box or roughly the equivalent of 5 boxes of Pro V1's, the same brand that outperformed them.
To be fair if he could flight them at the same launch angle as the ProV's, they'd clearly be significantly longer.
@@scottelectronic I dont disagree but I have to assume that Rick had approximately the same swing speed and launch angle. That would imply the high arc was the design of the ball. Since this is a non-conforming ball (not sure of the actual reason(s)), the COR or whatever they are labeling the spring like effect of the ball may also be the non-conforming attribute which makes the test even more telling.
I'm looking for a ball that flies farther and straighter with less spin off the tee, better feel and short game touch and a truer putting roll on the green. Oh wait, that's every ball.
YES! Absolutely correct.
EVERY BOX OF BALLS SAYS THE SAME THING.
If they were true and you went by the manufacturers spiel alone, then you would never buy anything but their cheapest box of balls, as it would be pointless, as their different ball offerings are ALL fantastic at EVERYTHING!!!
Good stuff Richard. Cheers
Rick, I’ve been following you for a long time my friend. I live in Lincoln, NE i absolutely love watching your videos my man. Keep up the good work, if you have some old clubs your not wanting anymore, it would be amazing to play with the same clubs you’ve played with. Thanks for all you do!
CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE SHORTLISTED AMONG THE LUCKY WINNERS USE THE TELEGRAM HANDLE ABOVE TO SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE🎁
I don’t care if it added 100 yards, never in my life would I spend that much on a golf ball lol
Then you obviously aren’t the clientele they are trying to reach. £200 is nothing to some people in this crazy world we live in…
@@jaadmaan8156 cool story
I might if it was also guaranteed to stay in the fairway. On the other hand, I don't like hard golf balls now. I used to use Top Flite golf balls way back when I had a persimmon driver, but can't stand to hit Top Flites with my relatively modern driver.
@@bkbinj6320 I have a 6 handicap and still don’t use pro v 1’s or those top notch crap. It honestly doesn’t make a difference. Most days I play with the same ball (lately I been using callaway super fast or Taylor made tour response). I think most golfers who use expensive balls just want an ego boost. It’s like the guys with double digit handicaps that play from the blue tees…it’s an ego thing.
I will say, the course I play is pretty challenging and I know all the miss spots so every weekend I find quite a few of tp5’s, pro v 1’s, callaway chrome soft….I’ll use them because they’re free🤣 but won’t buy them.
Cool story bro 👍
Price framing - they’ll be 75% off soon and still be the most expensive balls on the market 😂
Like +9 and above handicaps thinking they can play and take advantage of Pro V1 or any ball designed for pros. Or any club for that matter.
Nice test, thanks for the effort 👍🏻
Just when you think youve seen it all. This is why i love this channel ❤️
Might as well just throw a $20 bill in the woods every time I hit a drive.
If I paid £200 for 12 golf balls, i would have PAIN for no gain, and the pain would be from my other half beating the life out off me lol.
God bless you Rick! So thankful you're here to try $200 golf balls so the rest of us don't have to. Cheers!!
Golfing in Williamsburg VA today - losing golf balls IN the fairway because of the leaves on the ground. Had a hard time finding one ON the green because it was underneath a leaf that blew onto it. I can't imagine losing a $20 golf ball. I will be on the watch for one of these "in the trees" - interesting review.
Super video Rick. Love these ones simple honest review and to the point..for a minute there I was going to ask the mrs for them for Christmas...ah well gud job 👍
Joy watching your videos
Great review. It’s amazing how prov1 just can’t be beat.

Great video Rick!
They’d make a great gift for someone into the quirky side of golf. A great desk item to spark a conversation about.
That's a bloody expensive desk item lol
I love these little curiosity videos you do Rick, £200 golf balls of course we wanna see that.. at first I thought they must have gps tracking at that price, but no quite an underwhelming product when put through its paces.. thanks for curing our curiosity Rick
Great Video!! I'd never ever buy balls that expensive, especially seeing them underperform. Got a budget ball to check out... Wilson Tour Velocity (distance, feel and touch). Super cheap and hear they are worth it. Just an idea... Great video again!!
Thanks Rick 👍
Brilliant Rick. Will stick to my found ones 😀
I love how at 4:12 Rick gives the middle finger when saying, “not many people are going to give $200 for a box of golf balls”….😂😂

🤣🤣 I love the Pro V1. If I could get my hands on some Left Dots, I might pay a pretty penny.
“I’ve used ProV1s for so long” ok Rick I see that subtle flex 😂
Ball flight looks great :D
I want Rick to hit one of these with the world’s loudest driver
LOVE these videos. Thanks for taking one for the team Rick! I would never spend that on any balls. I can't even stomach paying $60 canadian for pro v 1's. I usually go for the $30-40 box of Bridgestones or Srixon. I know they'll be all gone in about 6 rounds anyways
Kirkland V2 or bust for me.
@BigRedDork Kirkland are great balls.
@@26japrey yeah. I mean I always game the Pro V's and other fancy balls that I find in the thick rough, water, and under trees first , but when I run out of those I only play the Kirkland's. I heard the new Aren't as great though, I guess they listened to too many scratch golfers and pros and made the ball harder and less spinny to account for their faster swing speeds but like, really. Those guys are playing Pro V's etc al. Anyways, so it's an asinine design decision to me when your average 15-40 hdcp+ golfer needs the softness, forgiveness, and boosted spin to keep it in play.
Hey Rick. Absolutely love all your videos. Why not try having Guy be the test subject for some of these ball comparisons or even club comparisons. He may be more in line with the consumer who is looking to gain a few yards with a different club or ball for that matter. Even if both of you do the comparison together. May show the difference how much a ball or a club can help an amateur in comparison to a pro. Just a thought. Oh, and please don't give up on the break 75. Those are the best. Have a great day and hittem straight.
I want to see a durability test too! 10 shots from the bunker pls! haha
Thanks Rick
These are my fav rick shiels vids

I would love to see a side by side comparisons between new Pro V's, Kirklands and just random "FOUND" balls. Most of us who love your channel, are very average golfers and we all have balls in our bag that we have found in the woods during rounds and we all have balls plucked from lakes or bought from the big tubs at used sporting goods stores. I would love to know how much performance we sacrifice by going cheap and how much the elements actually affect the balls.
Great video rick👍 can you do one on cheapest balls
That was so much fun. I hope I find some in the woods where I play, although I can't see anyone playing those where I play :). If I want a loud ball, I will just play Nitros.
6:14 I can’t tell you how much I loved that
Need to get the soft ones and test those!
Thank you Rick for doing a claasic-Rick vid again...ahhhh!
🤣 I love the marketing bollocks. It's always a load of pants.
Very interesting. How about if you adjusted the loft of your driver to get a lower trajectory out of the Attomax balls? Would that increase the distance for them?
Thanks Rick, can't you just to a static bounce test and measurement? Also why not adjust loft and spin characteristics of the driver to suit/optimise the flight, that flight is so different? Put a lower spin and lofted driver on, and the Pro V1s will be trounced (10p bet).
Loudest driver + hardest golf ball = hearing loss for Rick and the crew 🤣
Great job on the video!
CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE SHORTLISTED AMONG THE LUCKY WINNERS USE THE TELEGRAM HANDLE ABOVE TO SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE🎁
Maybe to get the desired distance you would have to use a lower lofted Setting on your driver since they are going so high
stoked to get these and slice a drive 15-20 yards farther into the next fairway!!
If i lose one of those balls in the trees, i'm camping out and ordering search parties until i've got it back. :)
You need to start doing regular equipment tests again. I always looked forward to your opinion on clubs.
Love the video
Ha ha ha great review I can see crowds charging to the course to find that lost ball 😂
Maybe it's in his pocket. And then maybe he's getting a kickback on the greens fees for the next week and a half! Slick Rick! 🤣
Would be great to see you review Ikarus balls. They seem to be up there if not better than other premium balls
Great vid
That was Steve Mould's video of the amorphous metal! Love that guy.
I wonder if the results would be different with the medium ball?
Let's GO!
Shouldn't the hard golf ball be compared to the ProV1x? higher launch off the tee, more spin, etc. Curious if the softer version would perform better compared to ProV1s
Bang! 💥
Great video mate! Definitely a sore one for those 2 in the woods haha! Been a while since I’ve been on the channel mate, glad to see you’re doing good ✌🏻
The ball in the woods is worth .50 cents. lol ! Thanks for the review !! 👍
Thank you for biting the bullet and testing these for us. I saw a promotion for them and thought it was too rich for my blood lol😅
Rick!!! We need to see a review of Snell!!! That’s the only brand you haven’t reviewed!!!
Reminds me of the Liquid Metal clubs and claims!!
Vice box is pretty sweet to
Cool video as always Rick, it looks like you're in the UK? Height in autumn is a distance killer, even on the fairways, balls just plug with a higher decent angle.
Could you check inside on your GC Quad and crank up the sunny weather and show us the results pal. It may well be a fairweather ball.
You turned me on to the Vice and it is so close to Pro V1 and the price is right. Have you ever tried the STAFF (Wilson) golf ball? It is a harder ball but the stopping power is Crazy!! Just curious on your thoughts.. Thanks Rick!

Do they come with a tracker fitted so you do not lose them?
Now you put out compliant Attomax ones at Pro-V1 price you have good competition...
Do more reviews. Its just so interesting
Great fan,🎖💫

$200+ for a dozen balls?!? I'd be afraid to take them out of the box! Glad Rick's here to check them out! (Cutting the ball though...#OUCH!)
So basically the movie 'flubber' has come to life and made into a golf ball
You noted that Attomax ball went much higher. I can't help but wonder if Attomax used a lower degree driver on their machine during their `testing`, and then used the same lower loft for the standard brand golf balls, thus reducing carry distance
Rick is the goat for this

First things first, if you invite me over the pond for a round of golf I’ll look for those balls you lost😮 Second, I don’t see mentioned in the comments about the quality of the box. I have to say who cares about the quality of a box and whoever saves them?? You also talked about some people like “gold clubs” and looking good. I have to say we all to a point like to make an impression because we buy the latest clothing and hats hoping to play better golf😳😂😂 Maybe they could sell them a little less expensive if the put them in a plastic bag😮😂😂 Love the video as always.
Fun video
